Elementary introduction to Moonshine
Abstract
These notes provide an elementary (and incomplete) sketch of the objects and ideas involved in monstrous and umbral moonshine. They were the basis for a plenary lecture at the 18th International Congress on Mathematical Physics, and for a lecture series at the Centre International de Recontres Mathematiques school on "Mathematics of String Theory."
